GOING ON AN ODYSSEY

Have you guys enjoyed haulers and sedans month? I for one sure have, and as we wrap it up I wanted to do a quick post celebrating one of my favorite people haulers of all time - the third and fourth gen JDM-spec Honda Odyssey. Even in stock form, the sleek, low slung lines of these vans give them lots of character. With a little (or a lot) of customization and they look even better.
